Failed Possession

You lived your life in a quiet and humble way without great aspirations nor goals, living day to day as you could.
Unfortunately for you, you got possessed by a Mysterious Being.... or at least that would've happened if the entity's plan went according to plan, but it ended up backfiring.
Now the Mysterious Being is trapped inside you with partial control, and has become your little shoulder angel/devil.
You know that he tries to possess you completely, offering the power, knowledge and ability to achieve tasks and goals that you thought were impossible.

What is it that your heart desires and proclaims?
To be completely free and return to being yourself, or to master the entity to achieve all your greatest desires.
